Estrategias de Emprendimiento Cooperativo entre Integrantes con Asignación de Retiro de la Fuerza Pública en Colombia

Abstract

This thesis focuses on analyzing the economic impact that affects members of the Colombian Public Force at the time of their retirement, with a particular emphasis on the reduction of their income. This decrease is due to the fact that the salary assignment percentages range between 65% and 95%, depending on the number of years of service, which varies from 18 to 29 years. This phenomenon is deeply influenced by the hierarchical and pyramidal structure inherent to the Public Force, as well as by the restrictions related to promotion quotas, the non-application of bonuses that are paid while active and are not computable as benefit items at the time of retirement, among other factors, which prevent most of the members from reaching the maximum percentage of retirement allowance, i.e., 95%. Three specific research questions are posed, which are addressed through the systematization of the problem: what experiences of cooperative entrepreneurship for economic development have been developed in groups or communities with similar characteristics? why the application of cooperative entrepreneurship strategies would be useful to contribute to reduce the impact of salary reduction? and what cooperative entrepreneurship strategies are the most appropriate to use? The research work is structured in four chapters: the first one focuses on presenting the research problem, the statement of objectives, the justification and the background that led to establish the state of the art; the second one presents the referential framework, through the contextualization of the frameworks: Conceptual, theoretical and normative; the third one presents the methodology used and the fourth one refers to the development of the research. The proposal of cooperative entrepreneurship strategies would allow proposing solutions to a problem that affects the quality of life of members of the Colombian Public Force with retirement assignment, providing options to mitigate the decrease in salary once they complete their military and police cycle.
